LIGHTING FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 27, i922.

Application filed April 1, 1918. Serial No. 225,958.

To all 107mm t may concern.'

Be it known that I, FREDERICK C. BAKER, a citizen of the TLlnited States, residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented a certain new and useful improvement in Lighting Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of fixtures known as semi-indirect lighting fixtures, vand has for its object to provide an improved means for supporting the shield for the light in conjunction with the reflector.

My means of accomplishing the foregoing objects may be more readily understood by having reference to the accompanying drawings which are hereunto annexed and are a part of this specification, in which,

Fig. l is an elevation partly in section of my improved fixture.

As shown in the drawings, 2 indicates the canopy which is of the usual construction, from which depends chains 3, which extend to an annular frame e being secured thereto, by means of an eye bolt 5 in the usual manner. This frame is provided with a circumferential flange 7 at its lower portion, forming a shoulder which is adapted to support the glass reflector 8, a central chain 9 having a socket l0 secured to its lower end which supports an electric light bulb 1l, is within the shield i2 which, in this instance, is a glass bowl. This bowl is suspended by a spider comprising a plurality of chains 13 which extend from a spun ring 14 adapted to fit inside of the center l5 of the re flector 8.

The reflector 8 is of conoidal form and has at its center, an opening through which the lamp socket and bowl supporting shell extends, the spun ring 14;' being turned outwardly so as to rest upon the annular lip l5 on the reliector.

It will be apparent that a portion of the y light rays will pass directly through the bowl 12, diffusing a soft light directly under the fixture where it is most desired.

Having described my invention, what I regard as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

l. ln a lighting fixture, the combination with a reflector, a canopy, an annular frame secured to said canopy, chains depending from said canopy and secured to said frame and extending thereto, av shoulder formed on said frame adapted to support said reflector, a central chain, a socket secured to its lower end, an electric light bulb supported by said socket, a shield, a spider which supports said shield, and having a ring adapted to lit inside of the center of said reflector.v

2. ln a lighting fixture the combination with a conoidal reflector having a central opening therein, a canopy an annular frame secured to said canopy provided with a circumferential flange at its lower portion, chains depending from said canopy and secured to said frame and extending thereto, a shoulder formed by said flange adapted to support said refiector, a chain, a socket secured to its lower end, an electric light bulb supported by said socket, a shield, a spider having a ring which suspends lsaid shield, an annular lip on said refiector, said ring adapted to fit inside of the center of the reflector which rests on said lip.

In testimony whereof lf have signed the foregoing specification.

FREDERICK C. BAKER.
